Emergency & Poison Control

When is it an Emergency?

Of course, it’s never wrong to call if you’re concerned about your pet. You know your pet best, so if something seems off in his behavior or something just doesn’t seem right, feel free to contact us! If we’re not in the office, you can contact one of the emergency offices listed below and their staff can help you assess your pet’s condition and if you need to come in right away, or wait for our regular hours to be seen.

Definite Emergencies

Not breathing

Unconscious/ not responding

Broken bones

Seizures

Bleeding

Straining or unable to urinate

Collapse/ inability to stand

Injury to your pet’s eyes or sudden onset blindness

Your pet’s abdomen is swollen and hard to the touch, and/or your pet seems to be nauseated but unable to vomit.

Your pet is showing signs of extreme pain, such as whining, shaking, and refusing to socialize

You believe your pet has ingested a toxic substance, such as antifreeze, rat poison or other pesticides, any medication that wasn’t prescribed to her, or household cleaners. You can contact the Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 466-4435 (a fee may apply)
